That explains why there's half a dozen self storage buildings within 5 feet of my apartment.

I am trying to imagine what kind of lovecraftian geometry you have the misfortune to live in

I'm barely even exaggerating. There's literally 5 within walking distance.

“And although the space they occupy isn’t like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. Not a cubic inch there but is filled by a padlock, a garage door, a wheeled cart, the tip of a key code pad, so the effect is like one of those trick drawings and your eyeballs eventually realize that the space between each self-storage is, in fact, another self-storage.”
